Sorry if this is answered somewhere else but I could not find it through search -

I'm using the included html editor and it is stripping the numbers and bullets off my lists when I use the <ul><li></li><li></li></ul> html. The numbers and bullets show in the editor but not on the final page.

I've tried changing the borders and indenting. I've also tried the add classes for vertical ul and li from the drop down list in the editor.

My site skin is Host: Aphelia - twocolumn-rightaside but I've changed that and it still does not help.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or what CSS is overriding my html code?

Thanks

Mike,
Does the unordered list render at all? If so it's likely that the skin CSS is overriding what you see in the editor. Do you have a link?

Well it is definitely an issue with the Aphelia skin. Downloaded and installed two other skins and the bullet and numbered lists work fine.
This is the 3rd coding issue I've had with Aphilia overriding the included HTML editor. I'm very disappointed because I did not remember having this issue with the DNN 5 skins that I originally tested.
Why include standard skins in DNN7 that do not work correctly with the DNN HTML editor???

I originally wanted DNN due to the page level security and the WYSIWYG editor. I wanted to let people who do not know much about HTML create their own web pages using the editor; but, now it is looking more and more like DNN is something only an advanced user should use and not something I should recommend to the hundreds of clients I have who do not code and know nothing about CSS.
My clients just want to create content not learn coding beyond some basic HTML.

Any idea if the DNN team is going to code Aphilia to work correctly with the HTML editor?

Mike,
Don't give up on DNN based on this one skin. I managed hundreds of sites for very non-technical customers for years. DNN was really the only platform I found capable of delivering all of our client's feature needs while still allowing a novice website manager (typically the receptionist or sales manager) the ability to maintaining the website.

Resolving the issue with the skin is pretty simple. Open your skin.css file in the Aphelia skin (dnninstall\portals\_default\skins\aphelia\skin.css) and change line 5 from this:

*{margin:0; padding:0; outline:none; border:none;list-style:none;}

to this:

*{margin:0; padding:0; outline:none; border:none;}

If you could add a new line to this file or using Admin | Site Settings | CSS (this updates the portal.css) and add in the CSS you need to show bullets.

Keep in mind that a skin can determine the final viewable style no matter what the editor shows.

Finally, you used to be able to update the editor to use your skin's css file. Not sure is this is still relevant on DNN 7, but you can check out this video about how to setup CSS within the HTML editor here:
